Built around 1300 by Rainier Grimaldi, Lord of Cagnes, this fortified castle supported sieges and assaults before being transformed around 1620 by Baron Jean-Henri Grimaldi into a stately residence combining the charm and wealth of a palace.

Acquired by the city in 1937, became a municipal museum in 1946 then classified as a Historic Monument in 1948, it is today a marvelous setting which houses the Olivier Museum, the Solidor Donation and exceptional baroque painted ceilings.

The Château-Musée Grimaldi also hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary art, as well as numerous concerts.
